DISNEY ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION PARTNERS WITH NONPROFIT GROUP
‘YO RECUERDO/I REMEMBER’ WILL PREMIERE EXCLUSIVELY ON HULU ON SEPT. 14
In celebration of Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month, Disney Entertainment Television (DET) has commissioned four alumni from the award-winning nonprofit Ghetto Film School to create a short film in honor of their Hispanic and Latin American culture. The project, titled “Yo Recuerdo/I Remember,” weaves together four personal vignettes into a premium short film that reimagines core memories and connects them to their heritage. The film will begin running exclusively on Hulu beginning Sept. 14 and will also be shared across DET’s extensive portfolio of digital platforms including ABC, ABC News, FX, Freeform, Hulu, National Geographic, Onyx Collective and ABC Owned TV Stations from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15.
Building on a multiyear collaboration between Disney and Ghetto Film School, the initiative connected these young alumni filmmakers Alyse Arteaga (21 years old), Kian Cloma (24 years old), Alejandro Enrique (22 years old) and Tommy Espinal (22 years old) with a full service of production resources including video equipment, graphic designers and access to editing bays. In addition, to help them execute their cinematic visions, the filmmakers were paired with mentors from across Disney Entertainment Television that specialize in their desired career tracks.
